The best way to marinade meat is in a seal lock gallon baggie. Mix your marinade, drop your meat in, squeeze as much air out as possible & seal. Put in the refrigerator – turning when you can. Most recipes call for at least 4 hours marinade time but preferably overnight. Makes it easy to whip this up after dinner and it’ll be ready for tomorrow nights grilling!
